Mediterranean Halloumi Pitas

• 份量: 3 servings
• 准备时间: 25 minutes
• 总时间: 30 minutes

配料

1/2 cup shaved (or very thinly sliced) red onion

2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 Tbsp. harissa*

1 Tbsp. honey

1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice

1 (8 to 9-oz.) block halloumi cheese, drained and patted dry

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided

1 cup diced English or Persian cucumber

1 cup quartered cherry tomatoes

2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh dill

1 garlic clove, grated or minced

3 pita breads (white or whole-wheat)

3/4 cup tzatziki (homemade or store-bought) (plus more for serving, if desired)

步骤

Pickle red onion. Place red onion in a large mixing bowl and add red wine vinegar and 1/2 kosher salt. Let sit while you prepare remainder of the recipe (or at least 15 minutes - tossing occasionally.) (Note: this is the base of the cucumber-tomato salad, but I like to give the onion a head start to soften.)

Prepare honey-harissa glaze. In a small bowl, combine harissa, honey, and fresh lemon juice; stir well to combine. Set aside.Prepare halloumi. Slice halloumi crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick pieces and pat dry with a paper towel.Cook halloumi. Heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange halloumi slices in pan and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until golden brown. Flip and cook 1 more minute. Add honey-harissa glaze and cook 1 minute longer, flipping the halloumi again to coat both sides.Transfer halloumi to a plate and add a pinch of flaky salt, if desired.

Mix cucumber-tomato salad. To the bowl of red onions, add cucumbers, tomatoes, dill, garlic, and remaining 2 Tbsp. olive oil; toss to combine. Season with an extra pinch of salt (if needed) and a few grinds of black pepper.

Assemble pitas. Warm pita bread in a dry skillet or over a gas range until lightly toasted and pliable. Cut each pita in half and spread tzatziki on the inside of pita (I use ~2 Tbsp. tzatziki per pita half). Add a big scoop of cucumber-tomato salad and ~2 slices of halloumi per pita. Serve with extra tzatziki and lemon wedges, if desired.
